Abstract

Emphysematous gastritis (EG) is a rare disease of the stomach that is caused by gas-forming bacteria, and it can be lethal. There have been <70 reported cases in the English literature of this disease which carries a mortality rate up to 60%. Early recognition and treatment through conservative management have been a popular and successful choice in today's medicine. Studies have shown that surgical intervention does not confer a statistical benefit on mortality in this condition. We present another case of EG in a 33-year-old woman who was successfully managed conservatively.
